Default Drives that do or don't run hot


My ST315003 runs at lease 5 deg C hotter than other drives in the same
position. I've looked at Tom's Hardware and such places, but they focus on
problem drives, and I want a positive identification of a drive that doesn't
have a known problem! What 1.5 - 2 TB SATA drives are fast and run fairly
cool? I have RAID 5 in mind for them, BTW.

Thanks.

Just read the specs for power use. Except for an EXTREMELY small
amount, it all ends up as heat.

I have not done any carefull measurements, but the WD Green drives are
cool - but also spin a bit slower.
